Unofficial World Cup Thread de 2014

Ghana shooting themselves in the foot btw: players fighting on training with eachother & with the staff. 2 of their key players are sent home and obviously won't play tonight.

This is a gimme for the USA now.

so uraguay is claiming that the suarez bit and the picture of the bite mark were photo shopped and that the whole thing never really happened

they claim its a conspiracy brought on by the european teams and leagues to discredit suarez

they're conveniently forgetting about the hundreds of millions of people that saw it happen live, and leaving out the fact that the jackass has already done it twice before

I don' think that was Uruguay, it was Suárez's lawyer.

Watch them tank now and lose to Port 5-0.

Wow, when did all that happen?

Portugal should win the game handily, but the Stars and Stripes have to hope not too handily.

Will advance with a win over Ghana in which they pass the loser of Germany-United States in goal differential.

This is actually bad for the US, a blow-out win, which Portugal is capable of, coupled with a loss to Germany knocks them out.

4 months suspension. He has some time for therapy now.

9 international matches and 4 months of soccer related activity - the later applying to his club play, which amounts to another 9-12 matches. I assume he's suspended without pay from the club matches.

Yes, this is a big suspension, but I still think there should be a 'and complete psychological/anger management/reprogramming' sessions.

thats kind of lame if its 4 months starting now. liverpool won't start playing real games for another 2.5 months or so

he'll be back in time to help the team qualify for the next WC, and play in it

Flooding bad.....could really slow the game down.

Slowing down a soccer game!? Instead of super slo-mo the cameras will have to be put in time-lapse mode.

From some of the images of the town, the US should sub in the water polo team, or at the very least Gus the mule.
